Research Interests

		To define the mechanisms responsible for the rejection of transplanted organs. Murine transplant models are utilized to characterize the response of T cells to alloantigens and determine how antigen presentation and T cell trafficking are regulated. Therapeutic interventions are proposed and tested based on an understanding of these mechanisms.

		The development and validation of immunologic assays that can be used to guide the management immunosuppression in patients following transplantation. The validation of a battery of monitoring assays would allow the safe individualization of immunosuppression after transplantation and facilitate studies aimed at attaining transplantation tolerance.
